I just bought 2 avocados. This is not a joke. - Proof: https://i.imgur.com/0egDixL.jpg - I was their first customer. These guys are really working hard to establish an edge. - I paid $2 for 2 Avocados. One was a bit over-ripe, but the other was perfect. - They came in a brown Walgreens bag. The bag had a $3 receipt. Overall: I'd probably do this again.

Thank you for trying us and also for the awesome feedback! :)

Not putting the price on the site is an error that may break this idea. You use a system of some kind to calculate the price... just have the site automatically calculate it before the buyer has to do much. I'm in your target area, and I love avocados, and I wouldn't order from this because of the issue.

Thank you so much for the feedback! We are working our pricing structure and we'll definitely keep your opinion in mind :)

Just a friendly reminder that one Avocado (approx 200g) has 30 grammes of fat (44% of Daily recommended value). As yummy as they are to eat, there is a reason they are so yummy :)

You need to update your science! Fat is not bad! At least not the one found in avocado (i.e. monounsaturated).

This is the first thing I've ever seen on HN (and I've been here since the beginning) that I've shared with my father. He absolutely loves avocados and eats them raw, and I knew when he saw this it would be love at first sight even though he lives on the east coast of the US and can't use the service!

Eats them raw? Who would cook an avocado??? Or you mean eats them plain? Because that's just delicious.

I put avocados and goat cheese on home-made pizza. Absolutely delicious although they turn brown, which can be off-putting.

Great feedback.

Only comment I'd make, based on the stickers, is that ISO8601 [1] should be embraced, even by (especially by?) North Americans.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I normally eat them raw too, even on home made pizzas (add them after the pizzas come out of the oven?) ... but I suspect a slight soaking / spray with something acidic (lemon water is the obvious candidate) may stop them browning quite so badly.

fluff aside; Electrocado psystep LP 'The Haas Effect' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtsVK2KAx6U&list=PLjAN2Ez8Ez... - best track; 'Haas To Be Hass'

Alright guys, avocado awareness is at an all time low. We've got to come up with some interesting angles to let people know that Hass avocados are the very definition of smooth and creamy.
